Superdrug pulls celebrity weight scale after complaints

Beauty and health retailer Superdrug says it won't be going ahead with the sale of a celebrity scale after criticism from customers.

Celebrities such as Rihanna, Towie's Gemma Collins, Cheryl Cole and Khloe Kardashian appeared in gold stars rather than a weight.

In a statement Superdrug said it had made one scale and it was a prototype.

A spokesperson confirmed the firm would not be producing or selling the scales at any of its branches.

The company also tweeted a statement, which said: "At Superdrug we're committed to helping people get healthier, and supporting those who want to lose, maintain or put on weight in a healthy and responsible way.
